Hips-first never bend at your spine or knees. This is safest for your back and knees and more force is produced. To begin, stand up, place the edges of your hands into the creases on top of your thighs, press your hands firmly into "your hinges" of your joints and stick your back side out, keep your weight on your heels. When coming back up drive with your hips-first, squeeze your butt (glutes) together and hamstrings, less with your thighs (quads) and not at all with your knees or back. Once you are standing up straight you are ready to repeat the steps again.
Remember: With all your daily activites hinging not bending is vital for the health of your back and knees.
Using a 26 pound kettlebell help teach me how to hing at the hips and was instrumental in my rehabilitation process. This fundimental move benefits everyone no matter what walk of life you are in.
